SOCIAL PROJECTS
technological objects in live graphical screen form
with navigation, the key points of each operation of
technological process on drill rigs are revealed. Full
cycle of well drilling is represented in full simulator
of drilling process with account to specific features
of responsibilities of driller assistant, driller, drilling
engineer.
Being present on realistic 3D model of drill rigs in role
of worker-observer and operating them, a trainee can
walk through the whole drilling site, look carefully at
its technological facilities (Fig. 1), examine functional
structure, main systems and blocks. One can select
any object (circulating system, pump block, driller
cabin, spider etc.), receive information about it and
have a closer look from every side. Blocks contain
scalable interactive pages with animated 2D/3D
graphics and navigation that in real-time mode provide
the arrangement of equipment and tools, operation
principles, classification, and additional reference
information on drilling facilities.

• odd works during wells drilling: reciprocating,
connection, stop and start up of pump and drilling
under different modes;
Using 3D model of selected drilling site, a trainee can
watch over the process of operation performance
with detailed comments, status of controls and tools
in driller cabin, examine the process from any space
point (Fig. 2, 3).
Full simulation of drilling process in automated system
"Oil and Gas Wells Drilling" enables to teach trainees
the steps, principles and main features of wells
drilling at any depth during teaching process in virtual
environment.
Simulation is provided for such functions as:
• reaction torque depending on drilling interval;
• full-scale tool for processing of data on static
measure;
• rate of azimuth change relatively to drilling interval;
• negative trend during drilling by rotation;
• possibility of salvage operation due to violation of
drilling technology;
• sampling of intermediate static data in the process
of drilling;
• interface language selection: Russian or English;
• graphical profile view, individual measurement of
tool based on length, project deviation survey and
estimated position of well relative to project profile.
All these functions during training the applicants for
the position of driller assistant, driller, drilling engineer
improve the level of professional and theoretical
education.
It may become possible for everyone to drill oil and
gas wells in any time. Visit of drilling objects by
trainees and work with virtual drilling program allow
for better remembering of process of well drilling and
really participate in well creation process not only
as a listener, but as a driller assistant, driller, drilling
engineer. In addition, every trainee can virtually drill
his own first well of any depth by his own. Skills
acquired during work with ATS "Oil and Gas Wells
Drilling" will be useful during drilling of actual oil and
gas wells of different depth, in Russia and abroad.
